Yonkers housing market forecast
Zillow's metro forecast for New York, NY points 12 months out from September 2026 to +2.8%, with +0.7% over the next three months. Put that against Yonkers's typical value of $701,827 and it lands near $721,500 a year on.
Restated here, the figure comes from Zillow's central estimate for the metro; the site carries no forecast of its own. Such a 12-month forecast generally ends up several percentage points from the change that follows, either above it or below it. This is not investment advice.

How to read this chart
Each point plots the Zillow Home Value Index for Yonkers: what a typical home in the market's middle third was worth, as a smoothed, seasonally adjusted value in that month's dollars. The hollow dot shows the month picked on the slider, and the terracotta dot shows the most recent month. Inflation is not taken out of these figures, and an index describes the typical home rather than one house. To value a single home, use its own sale price along with the card above it, or with the home appreciation calculator.
